The manufacturing method of formula, as the thickness of growth increases, the half breadth of the XRC of one of index as crystallinity evaluation is shown
The tendency for hardly changing or improving at leisure.The self-supporting substrate 30 of present embodiment shows the feature due to the tendency.
In addition, the tendency is (to be indicated different from the semi-polarity face with Ga polarity side with Miller index (hkml), l is greater than 0 semi-polarity
Face) make as aufwuchsplate III nitride semiconductor thick film grow the case where a kind of tendency.
Firstly, the self-supporting substrate 30 of present embodiment is made of III nitride semiconductor crystal, in positive back relationship
Exposing the first main surface and the second main surface be semi-polarity face.
Moreover, as shown in embodiment below, out of, bulk crystals comprising the first grown layer 23 and the second grown layer 25

Also it can make the m axis of X-ray and III nitride semiconductor crystal respectively for the first main surface and the second main surface in parallel
Difference that is incident and being measured the half breadth of XRC obtained is 500arcsec or less.
In addition, the first main surface and the second main surface all show it is wide to the half value for the XRC that m axis is incident in parallel and measures
Degree is 500arcsec good numerical value below.
In addition, as shown in embodiment below, out of, bulk crystals comprising the first grown layer 23 and the second grown layer 25
Growth thickness be 3mm or more the obtained self-supporting substrate 30 in part, even if with a thickness of 300 μm or more and 1000 μm hereinafter,
Also it can make the projection of the c-axis of X-ray and III nitride semiconductor crystal respectively for the first main surface and the second main surface
Axis is incident in parallel and is measured the difference of the half breadth of XRC obtained as 500arcsec or less.
In addition, the first main surface and the second main surface all show incident in parallel with the axis of projection of c-axis and are measured

In the case that object semiconductor thick film is grown, as the thickness of growth increases, the half of the XRC of one of index as crystallinity evaluation
Value width can be deteriorated.Part especially more than growth thickness 1mm, which starts to show significantly, in growth thickness 3mm
Above part, crystallinity are significantly deteriorated, and the half breadth that calculate above-mentioned XRC becomes difficult.As one of its reason, it is believed that
When being grown using the semi-polarity face of Ga polarity side as aufwuchsplate, the introduction volume of oxygen atom unexpectedly increases, the crystalline substance of crystal
Lattice constant changes, and dislocation defects increase.
In addition, as described above, the maximum gauge of the bulk crystals manufactured with features described above manufacturing method greatly to 50mm with
It is upper and 4 inches or less.The self-supporting substrate of the present embodiment as obtained from being cut out from such bigbore bulk crystals
30 become maximum gauge also as 50mm or more and 4 inch of heavy caliber below.
